A shortcut to locate the articles is to browse the back issues lists of the previous 12 months in the Decembers' issues (not guaranteed). The the WCs' reports, they are usually 2 to 3 issues lag behind. However, I can't get any for the 1992 1/8 offroad WC in Germany.

Hello Bud, Do you have any camber/or shim on the front end?

In what years/circumstances that the wing on the motor mount was abandoned?

Also SG Italy also made a lexan chassis. probably called Gemini. THe rcmagvinatge ebsite has its image. http://www.rcmagvintage.com/reviews/retro/voitures/electrique/musee/sg/sg.htm

Were the pro drivers using the BEC for the radio on the chassis or only the diodes, or some small circuit?

Kent or any WC 1982 /1984 participants, Were the stock motors in WC1982 and 1984 being hang out by the orgainisers? As far as I know, the 1982's was the yokomo open brushes endbell type; however, from Bud's 1984 car, it seems to be a closed canned Igarishi. In addition, the Igarishi stock should hav...

Steve, can you lead us to the development of the 1/12 class? I read from this thread about the birth of 12E, however, why is it 1/12 or 05 motor and not others? Was it a pre-AE, or Jomac 's period history? In addition, the vaccum formed lexan body method has been used for ???? years, was it also pre...

While we have Steve Husting to share and channel our questions of AE to the proper persons, I wonder if the same can be channelled to Reedy? Of course I believe many will ask the secret of speed, but I am more interested to know the history, development etc of the past acades. Will Mike spare some t...

In fact, where are all the plugs of the popular body shells by Assoc, Parma, Mrp etc. Are they (the orginals) still existing and held by someone, or just collecting dust at the corners? If yes, are the holders willing to offer "made to order"? Just cannot understand why Associated , though...

CAn someone, not limited to Kent, tell us more about the color dots , not the Reedy square label, on the early Reedy modifieds (igarishi close canned or Yokomo can)? There were red dot, yellow dot, green dot.... Are they the production lot number or the winding? In addition, did you pro factory driv...

It is Elfin. This body was a must for Associated 1/8 and had good bite. However, it was not as successful as TOJ in 1/12. Cannot remember if is from Assoc USA or from Yokomo japan . Sorry that I am wrong, it is not the old Yokomo elfin but probably something related to the Kyosho Spada 09 series no...

Hi Alex, Where is the external varible resistor for adjusting the brake strenght? I have the same set also.

Ah, Jim Dieter, I remeber his informative posts named "On the road" at some rc forum.

Going a bit further from 12E to 12i. Was the Kimbrough direct servo saver born before the 12i or Delta. Because this saver eliminated the bellcrank saver on the 1/12 chassis and has been a must on all 1/12 car. So is it a car chassis designer driven product, or it appeared before the 1/12 application?

Cool! Thanks Kent for the interesting information and the unknown story. My first trial of traction compound was the very sticky one from Parma, I spread it with a butter knife and it was very messy after each application. In fact some used deep heat rubbing as traction compound. I posted a question...
